The Political Scribe and I discuss the Bush Administration often and sometimes disagree about what is next. At this point, I truly believe that nothing is beyond their evil capabilities and that, if it is at all possible, the Bush administration will ensure the neocon agenda and would do anything, even try to keep Bush/Cheney in power after 2007.
I am doubtful that our system of checks and balances is working at this time and with the past 7 years as a judge of things that ‘could” happen… anything goes. Bush signs “Signing Statements”, purposefully thumbing his nose at America when he breaks the very laws he is signing. The only time he bothers with a veto is on politically significant issues. Otherwise he simply “signs” them away, as if a king and does whatever he pleases… knowing full well that nothing will be done.
He doesn’t gain this power due to Dem weakness, as is portrayed by many. But by downright complicit actions… cavorting with the Crime Boss, as it were.
So, I would not doubt that something “BIG” is on the horizon. Something devastating enough to be able to call for Martial Law and to try and shut down democracy in this country.
Am I a conspiracy nut? Maybe. But please tell me what they have done thus far that I should trust any action they commit? Why should I NOT be concerned and distrustful of them, since everything they have done thus far is dubious and evil?
I have generally thought that another 9/11 style attack might mysteriously happen just before the elections, but with all the blatant lying rhetoric the administration is touting continuously about Iran and the “mis-speaking”, linking Iran with terrorists and insurgents, is beginning to seem purposeful and leading up to something.
Of course, since McInsane is even more radical than Bush, he will be a good replacement for the neocon war mongers’ Bush 3, but that may be the Plan B. So, whether or not the Bushies want to keep control (or the neocon handlers will be satisfied with McInsane), there is a very good potential for a war. besides, Saudi Arabis is preparing for something in the aftermath of Cheney’s recent visit.
Rednecks, do not be surprised should we invade or attack Iran with bombs, perhaps even nuclear. These people in charge cannot be trusted to do what is right in the world and should be suspect in every action until they are gone, IF they are gone.

Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran
by Margarett Kimberly
It is happening. The plans for the Bush administration to begin mass murder of the Iranian people have been put in motion. The plot was stalled temporarily by the National Intelligence Estimate report released last fall, a report which said that Iran did not have a nuclear weapons program. Bush and Cheney were thrown off their game, but not by much and not for long. They were inconvenienced but ultimately took the small set back in stride because they both knew they had nothing to worry about.
They know that the press will report what they say without criticism or analysis. They know that both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have said that all options are on the table with Iran. They know that European nations like France have publicly stated their allegiance to Bush vis a vis Iran. British Prime Minister Gordon Brownalso bowed to Bushian bullying and declared that Iran must not be allowed to become a nuclear power. Now Germany has joined the hall of shame. German Chancellor Angela Merkel groveled before the Israeli Knesset and essentially promised not to protest when Israel assists America in creating an Iranian holocaust. Apparently German sins of genocide against the Jews can only be expiated by complicity with an Israeli genocide.
When historians write about the catastrophes that struck the world in 2008, events that have taken place in March of 2008 will surely loom large. The worldwide economic meltdown finally became impossible to deny, with the Federal Reserve using the workers’ dime to bail out a major investment banking firm, Bear Stearns. Dick Cheney traveled to Iraq, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, making sure his nefarious plans went off without a hitch. John McCain claimed that Iran was the home of al Qaeda, the bogeyman that sends already trigger happy Americans on blood thirsty rampages. Democrats who had the power to stop Bush in his tracks, once again pledged to do nothing.
In 2007 both the Senate and House passed resolutions that backed war with Iran. Impeachment, the one weapon Congress could use to stop further war making, is ignored and forgotten by John Conyers, Chairman of the House Judiciary committee.
In recent days Conyers said he would begin impeachment hearings, but only if Bush attacksIran. Apparently not enough human beings have been killed by Bush and the body count needs to grow exponentially before Conyers will lift a finger. On the other hand, the two-faced Congressman says he fears impeachment because it will hurt the Democrats in the upcoming November election. So it seems he will do nothing, no matter how many people die because of the crimes committed under the Bush regime.
The attack on Iran is an open secret, but Americans, like a wronged spouse, are the last to know. Dick Cheney must have told the Saudi princes of his intended evil doing because Saudi Arabia is planning for “the probabilities of leaking nuclear and radiation hazards in case of any unexpected nuclear attacks in Iran. . . ” Saudis know the deal, while John and Jane Q. Public are still in the dark.
What will the Democrats do when Iranians are nuked? When Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni recently visited the United States, Obama gave her a phone calland told her she shouldn’t worry about an Obama administration. He said all the right things, that Israel has a right to defend itself (kill Palestinians whenever it wants) and agreed that Iran was an evil nation that shouldn’t have the nuclear weapons that Israel has had for decades. So much for change.
The saber rattling and furtive Dick Cheney meetings are just the tip of the iceberg. The worldwide economic crisis is pushing the war agenda more than any other factor. Black Agenda Report said as much nearly one year ago.
“Ultimately, the parasitic class can only maintain its rule by force. Manufacturing nothing, creating no value except on paper, they must finally call upon the Armed Forces to impose their unearned advantage on the planet. Such was the logic of March, 2003. The Great Offensive failed, but the contradictions that compelled the captains of finance capital to order their political servants to wage war, remain - and are in fact more acute than four years ago. They must wage war, again, to fight their way out of the box.”
Every bail out of an investment bank is an omen of an oncoming worldwide financial calamity, but it is also an omen of more American aggression. The Obama/Clinton fight for the nomination is a sorry side show spectacle. In any case, the new war will help John McCain more than it will help the Democratic nominee. Even if the Democrat should win, both Obama and Clinton have stated that they too believe in maintaining America’s empire. Bush’s wars won’t end with a Democratic administration.
In the space of just five years, our nation will be waging another war of aggression and we will all be accessories after the fact. Our country may have also entered into a depression, so we will be poor criminals too. To use an expression coined by Poppy Bush, we will be in deep doo doo. Cheer up though. We won’t be in as much trouble as Iranians. Many of them will soon be dead.
